Barcelona are seing their midfield priority this summer officially close, and this will give Hansi Flick a new addition in the coming weeks. According to reports from Esports RAC1 by journalist Marta Ramon, it’s official. FC Barcelona and Manchester City have officially closed the operation for the transfer of Rodri. The closed figure would be around 50 million euros.

Documents are on the table

The truth is that once the Spanish player himself made it clear to both clubs that he preferred the Barca project of Hansi Flick over other opportunities, operations have sped up. The clubs are finalising the documentation and the signature in the next hours.

The plans of the Barcelona board already point to the midfielder being able to land in Catalonia and be with the first-team group on August 12.

The anchor of Hansi Flick

Without a doubt, this closing is a huge achievement for Sporting Director Deco, Manager Hansi Flick and President Joan Laporta, after being forced to sign a great defensive midfielder urgently because of the long-term knee injury that affects, Frenkie de Jong.

In addition, with the 50 million clause met, Barca sends a powerful message to European football ahead of a new season.
